Correct, scrolling the project panel itself is lagging. I’m in List view. The footage is MTS and ProRes 422. It’s a StudioRaid, I’m not sure why a list would take so long to scroll no matter what the storage. The media cache is on my C: drive, which is an SSD with plenty of space. The problem seems to lie when I make the window span the screen vertically. It scrolls fine when its a small window in the corner.

Yep! It imports as just video even in the browser window.

The project only gives me that opening screen. The reconnect media dialogue comes up, but once I’m done with it, I get that screen.

Convert! It’s like using a brand new Program. Suddenly, I can scrub through footage, locate my b-roll and stop pulling my hair out. Convert, convert, convert! 🙂

Hi! My system is fully updated, Premiere is fully updated. It’s a fully loaded 27″ iMac w/NVIDIA GeForce 680MX 2GB VRAM, 32GB RAM, 3.4GHz Core i7.
This happened once before when I changed the system I was using to work on the project. I went from my work computer to home computer, opened it up and the exact same thing happened. My boss had to open the file on the original computer, offline all the media, then email me the updated project file with no media to reconnect. I was using the same external hard drive and didn’t do any media reorganizing on that one.
On this one, I opened the project on a different user account on my computer after moving the media to well-organized places. The actual footage is all in the same place (maybe one or two folder changes), I mostly moved extra media files, videos, photos, etc. They all went from an external to my drop box account.
Sometimes, I really hate this goddamn program. But other times, I love it! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you open up the opacity tab, there’s a pen tool that appears. Use that to mask it, you can create 16 points if you want!

Any h.264 based codec makes my system choke, and any system I work with, really. I’ve learned to treat Premiere like I used to treat Final Cut and convert my footage. It’s so frustrating to scrub through footage to try and find good clips and for the viewer to just show me like five frames as I scrub through. That’s why I convert. Using less intense codecs like AVC from the Sony A7S is bearable, but not ideal. It wasn’t till I used this AVC-Intra footage that I reeeally wanted to pull my hair out.

There’s a video about it on Adobe’s YouTube page, but yea it essentially does that. And like i said earlier, I have the same computer as you do, but with a ton more RAM and it makes it no better. I have like, 10GB of RAM free and the program still runs like molasses unless I’m using ProRes.
